Section 2-6-74 - Board of directors; officers; quorum; compensation; record of proceedings.

The powers of the corporation shall be vested in a board of directors consisting of the persons at any time holding the offices of Governor, Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries and Director of Finance. Any two members of the board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. No vacancy in the membership of the board of directors or the voluntary disqualification or abstention of any member thereof shall impair the right of a quorum of the board of directors to act. The corporation shall have a president, a vice-president and a secretary, who shall be elected by the board of directors from the members of the board, and a treasurer, who shall be the State Treasurer of the state. If it so desires, the board of directors may appoint an assistant secretary who need not be a member of the board of directors. The officers of the corporation shall hold their respective offices for such terms as the board of directors shall determine, subject to the requirement that the president, vice-president and secretary shall at all times be members of the board of directors. No officer or director of the corporation shall draw any salary for any services he may render or any duty he may perform as a director or officer of the corporation; provided, however, that directors and officers of the corporation may be reimbursed for their actual expenses properly incurred in the performance of their duties as directors or officers of the corporation. All proceedings of the board of directors shall be reduced to writing by the secretary of the corporation and recorded in a well-bound book. Copies of such proceedings, when certified by the secretary of the corporation under its seal, shall be received in all courts as evidence of the proceedings and other matters therein certified.
